Summary of the contracting process

The Government Legal Department, based in London, has completed the contracting process for a tender titled "eDisclosure and Review Services 2 Marples v Secretary of State for Education." This procurement falls under the legal services industry category and was part of a selective procurement method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded on the 28th of January, 2025, with the services commencing on the 29th of January, 2025, and concluding on the 8th of August, 2025. The total contract value is £22,962.75. The scope is related to managing a legal dispute involving alleged negligence and misfeasance linked to a failed sale of shares in an apprenticeship training business.

This tender presents significant opportunities for law firms with expertise in handling complex legal disputes and providing eDisclosure and review services. Large enterprises that have a track record of managing intricate legal processes could find this contract particularly rewarding. As the procurement method involved a call-off from a framework agreement, it implies that the suppliers need to be pre-qualified, making it optimal for well-established companies in the legal services industry who are already part of similar frameworks. The opportunity is less suited for SMEs and VCSEs due to the nature and scale of the contract.
